2. One of my old favs: Vacation
"I think you're fucked in the head! We're 10 hours from the fucking fun park and you want to bail out! This is no longer a vacation. It's a quest! A quest for fun! I'm gonna have fun and you're gonna have fun. We're gonna have so much fucking fun that we'll need plastic surgery to remove our god damn smiles! We'll be whistling "zippedy doo dah" out of our assholes! I gotta be crazy! I'm on a pilgrimage to see a moose. Praise Marty Moose! Holy Shit!

26. A couple of the guys at my work will occasionally start yelling out one particular line from that...
"This is what happens when you (*&% a stranger in the *(&!!!!"

Yeah, I work in a warehouse. We can get away with just about anything short of harrassment or physical violence. :)

18. Spinal Tap!
"This one goes to eleven" is now pop culture shorthand--a sure sign of quotability!

Also Caddyshack, Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and Life of Brian ("He's NOT the messiah! He's a very naughty boy!")
:rofl:

25. I concur.
:D I just saw it for the first time this year, and OMG...amazing. :rofl:

I also agree with your Monty Python picks - good stuff! :thumbsup: (I haven't ever seen Caddyshack, but I've heard good things about it and I'm sure it's quite quotable.) :hi: Peace.

23. You guys aren't paying attention




"I say, take a letter to my lawyers!"

"Well, I am taking it!"

"Honorable Charles H., uh, Hungerdunger, care of Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, and McCormick... semicolon."

"How do you spell semicolon?"

"All right, make it a comma. Honorable Charles. H. Hungerdunger, care of Hunger... and McCormick. Gentlemen, question mark? Uh..."

"Do you want that 'Uh...' in the letter?"

"No, put that in an envelope. Now then. In re yours of the fifth inst., yours to hand and beg to rep... brackets... we have gone over the ground carefully, and we seem to believe, i.e., to wit, e.g., in lieu, that, uh, despite all our... precautionary measures which have been involved... uh, we seem to believe that it is hardly necessary for us to proceed unless we, uh, receive an ipso facto that is not negligible at this moment, quotes, unquotes, and quotes... uh, hoping this finds you, I beg to remain..."

"Hoping this finds him where?"

"Well, let him worry about that. Don't be so inquisitive, Jamison. Sneak. I say, hoping this finds you, I beg to remain, as of June 9th, cordially yours, regards. That's all, Jamison. Now read me the letter, Jamison."

"'Honorable Charles H. Hungadunga...'"

"Hungerdunger."

"Hoong."

"Hoong.
"

"Hungerdunger."

"That's it, Hungerdunger."

"'...care of Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger and McCormick.'"

"You've left out a Hungerdunger! You left out the main one, too! Thought you could slip one over on me, didn't you, eh? All right, leave it out and put in a windshield wiper instead. I tell you what you do, Jamison, I tell you what. Make it, uh, make it three windshield wipers and one Hungerdunger. They won't all be there when the letter arrives anyhow."

"'...Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger, Hungerdunger... and McCormick.'"

"And McCormick."

"'Gentlemen, question mark.'"

"Gentlemen, question mark? Put it on the penultimate, not on the diphthongic! You wanna brush up on your Greek, Jamison. Well, get a Greek and brush up on him."

"'In re yours of the fifth inst...'"

"I see."

"Now, uh... you said a lot of things here that I didn't think were important, so I just omitted them."

"Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. Hmm. So, you just omitted them, eh? You just omitted the body of the letter, that's all. You've just left out the body of the letter, that's all. Yours is not to reason why, Jamison. You've left out the body of the letter. All right, send it that way and tell them the body will follow."

"Do you want the body in brackets?"

"No, it'll never get there in brackets. Put it in a box. Put it in a box and mark it, uh... 'fragilly.'"

"Mark it what?"

"Mark it 'fragilly.' F-R-A-G... Look it up, Jamison, it's in the dictionary. Look under 'fragile.' Look under the table if you don't find it there."

24. Slap Shot
The French dubbed version. This is one of the rare movies for which the translation is better than the original, followed closely by the translation of Kung Pow: Enter the Fist. Both these movies were translated into colloquial Québec French, and they are funny as Hell.
